# Coded Character Sets

This section lists the character sets you can use as your target character set.

DEPRECATED: Target character sets other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 are deprecated in File Content Extraction version 24.4 and later. OpenText recommends that you only use the widely supported UTF-8 and UTF-16 formats. Other character sets are still available, but might be removed in future.
